All-on-4® Dental Implants in Austin Texas
All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4 implants are a dental implant technique that uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. Two implants are placed at the front of the jawbone and two implants are placed at the back of the jawbone. Allowing for increased stability and support of the replacement teeth.
The implants themselves are typically made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that integrates well with the jawbone. After the implants are placed, they are left to heal and fuse with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implants have fully integrated, a custom-made dental bridge or denture is attached to them to provide a functional and aesthetic replacement for the missing teeth.
When should I see my Oral Surgeon?
All-on-4 implants are a popular option for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a more stable, long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. This technique can often be completed in a single day, which is a significant advantage for many patients. Another advantage of the All-on-4 technique is that it requires fewer implants than traditional implant-supported dentures, making it more cost-effective solution for some patients.
It is important to note that the All-on-4 technique can be an excellent option for patients who have suffered significant bone loss in their jaw. The placement of the implants at an angle can often avoid the need for bone grafting, which can reduce the cost and recovery time associated with the procedure.
